Help George Romero Get a Star

You’d think that redefining the zombie sub-genre and making three of the most influential films in horror would have gotten George A. Romero a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame a long time ago. Well, the Godfather of zombies doesn’t have a star and in order to honor the director, The Zombie Research Society has begun a campaign to raise funds to get him one. It’s up to YOU to donate and help make Romero immortalized on a sidewalk forever, and to remind audiences that he’s THE motherfucker who made the zombies you know and love possible.

The star costs $30,000 paid directly to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. That price covers the memorial’s installment and upkeep–something that Romero rightly deserves. In order to get a star, the horror visionary needs to first have his application accepted in order to even be considered. ZRS is on a mission to spread the word as much as possible, hoping to build a following strong enough for the Chamber of Commerce to take the entire thing seriously.

The set goal for the project is $45,000 and Romero and zombie fans alike can donate as much as they can afford. Prizes will be given away to individuals who donate $25 or more. ZRS is hoping to raise above their goal so please, if zombies have ever meant anything to you–donate whatever you can!
